Saturday will mark the first home game for the Beavers
since Nov. 14, 2009 -- a 48-21 win -- and Oregon State is expecting a
sellout crowd.

As of Sept. 13 the Beavers had already sold a record 26,953 season
tickets and fans are expected to turn out by the thousands on Saturday.
OSU said it is expecting more than 45,000 people to attend the
Louisville game, and OSU might set a record for the biggest crowd to
witness a nonconference game at home. The record is 45,059, set Sept.
13, 2008, versus Hawaii.

"Back home for our first game, it's gonna be a big one," Jacquizz Rodgers said.

Oregon State has won eight consecutive home openers, including last season's 34-7 victory over Portland State.
